Do any tools exist for importing data from the National Hydrography<br>
Dataset? It'd be nice to have creeks/rivers/lakes in OSM instead of<br>
blank spaces, especially when I generate maps for my Garmin GPS.<br>
<font color="#888888"></font></blockquote><div><br>Jefft, we've been talking about doing it for quite a while. I have a shapefile to OSM converter written in Java that is most of the way there [1]. Christopher Schmidt has one written in Python [2].<br>
<br>A few of us have uploaded local NHD data, but the nationwide import has not started yet. Personally, I'm waiting for 0.6 to come out so we can take advantage of the diff import features.<br><br>[1] <a href="http://redmine.yellowbkpk.com/projects/list_files/geo">http://redmine.yellowbkpk.com/projects/list_files/geo</a><br>
